The homepage is in full aggregator mode today, so here’s another way to waste fifteen minutes amidst some late-winter blues. Though the industry standard name for video extras in the post-DVD era is “B-sides,” Rob Harris decided to flaunt his retained knowledge of SAT words and their Latin origins with Dece Addendum, a fifteen-minute raw footage reel of throwaway, slams, goofs and Yaje Popson footage from Dece Vid.

The first person to re-edit it to Travis Porter or Future wins a six-pack of Kronenbourg and half a sandwich from Parm. Re-watch the original video if you need to waste another twenty minutes. Some non-aggregated content should be in the works shortly.

Rob Harris, now several years removed from a SVA education, is defying jinxes left and right. The most obvious jinx at hand is the unavoidable-in-98-percent-of-cases “sophomore jinx,” where a second project doesn’t live up to the magic of the first. Dece Vid happens to be an excellent companion piece to the “Tompkins Bench Most Discussed Topic of the Year — 2008″ award winner, Rich Mahogany. You could argue that it’s even better, given the timely fashion of its release. Which brings us to the second jinx — the unavoidable-in-100-percent of cases “SVA Delay” — a curse that prolongs an announced video’s production anywhere from two-to-six years past “deadline” due to artistic conflicts. Prior to today, there was no precedent for a SVA student releasing a second video after graduation. Rob just set this new tradition on the right track by sticking to his *FIRST* release date.

Dece Vid features the elusive Yaje Popson part that was discussed when his Independent clip came out this past summer. It also includes a ton of bros and some bros who are pro, with mini-parts from Alex Olson, David Clark, Nick Boserio, Black Dave, Danny Brady, Brian Delatorre and others. There’s 345 days left to go in 2013, but Malfa might have part of the year.

Frozen in Carbonite composed an interesting venn diagram for Pretty Sweet and Parental Advisory, the two marquee skate videos of the holiday season. Though “current rap, unironically” might belong in the middle, as “2Pac Back” was Pretty Sweet‘s only current rap song, and it was utilized in an appropriate way. Then again, it also has a caucasian Kid Cudi cover, so that might throw everything off…

Rob Gonyon becoming irate with entitled New York bicyclists (seriously, that “DON’T YOU GUYS KNOW THIS IS A *BIKE* LANE?!?!”-contingent of society is the worst) and doing chill street lines.

Mark Suciu and friends at Lenox Ledges and other less-interesting destinations in New York. The switch powerslide at the Bronx Courthouse after the back 180 is impressive considering how tight that landing space is. Dude’s good.

We were having this debate the other day…when exactly did the decline of downtown’s premier outdoor drinking spot for people too poor to go to a bar occur? Most insisted that the summer of 2009 was the beginning of the end — when the Basket’s culture shifted from trios of Mexican laborers individually downing six-packs in under 20 minutes, skateboarders and the occasional overgrown Union Square lurker, to a full-blown NYU college bar and pitstop for shitheads on expensive bikes to debate microbrewery flavors.

Truthfully, it’s 4 Loko’s fault. Put a place where people could drink 4 Lokos outside and meet up with their white dreadlocked weed dealers two blocks from the nearest NYU dorm, and it’s bound to be hell before 8 P.M.

That’s not to say we haven’t kept clinging on to hope for a once-great establishment. Rob Harris makes the case for The Basket’s continued relevancy in this new night session video for DQM. The clip throws a curveball by portraying the Basket as a springboard for a night session, as opposed to its more common role as a deterrent for one. You’re almost positive they won’t make it north of Washington Square Park (the nearest actual skate spot), but miraculously, they make it all the way up to midtown. Features Lee Smith, Keith Denley, and Brian Delatorre.

Akira Mowatt’s company, After Midnight New York, just dropped a team montage. The illustrious Geo Moya has the intro honors, so it’s a must-watch.

Portland, Maine isn’t exactly the first (or fifth…or tenth…) city you think of when it comes to skateboarding in the northeast. ’96 Mentality is a new mini-video out of Portland that gives a glimpse into their scene. It’s super well-edited, and the tricks and vibe give it a nineties feel, even though it’s all HD.

It’s sick that outer-borough (Brooklyn) kids can make a ten-minute video, all filmed in New York, but with barely any recognizable spots in it. Just goes to show you how big this city is. Watch the Slime video here. Also, this means the turnaround on someone skating to song off Rich Forever was what, one week?
